Texas Rangers DFS Spin
Rangers first baseman Jake Burger drove in half of his team’s runs in their 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon. In that game, the 29-year-old right-handed hitter went 2 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. For the season, Burger is hitting .235 with 12 homers, 38 RBIs, 1 stolen base, and an OPS of .681 across 285 at-bats. Jake Burger is batting .357 with an OPS of 1.043 over his last 7 games, making him an interesting DFS option on Friday.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS Spin
Blue Jays designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in all of his club’s runs in their 2-1 win over the Cubs on Thursday afternoon. Hitting out of the #3 spot in the lineup, the 5-time All-Star went 1 for 3 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and a run scored. Guerrero is hitting .300 with 20 homers, 67 RBIs, 5 steals, and an OPS of .893 in 454 at-bats this year. The 2-time Silver Slugger Award winner is batting .414 with an OPS of 1.295 over his last 7 games. That fact makes Vladimir Guerrero Jr. worth a look in most DFS formats on Friday.

Rangers vs. Blue Jays Betting Prediction
I like the Rangers here. Texas will send 2-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom to the hill for this contest. He’s been stellar this season. In 23 starts spanning 135.1 innings this year, the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year is 10-5 with a 2.86 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP, a 4.8 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 9.5 K/9, and a .200 opponent batting average. Perhaps most importantly, the Rangers are 13-10 straight up in Jacob deGrom’s starts this season. I think the 5-time All-Star pitches well enough for Texas to earn an outright win on Friday night. The pick is the Rangers -120 on the money line over the Blue Jays at Bovada.lv.
